Second down

WatchESPN goes down during the Rose Bowl

WatchESPN, a service that allows cable subscribers to stream live sporting events on devices like Apple TV, Roku, Xbox, and iPhone and iPad, has been serving error messages instead of streaming live video on Thursday. The outage happened during the Rose Bowl, one of the most anticipated college football games of the year and the first of three college football playoff games streaming on WatchESPN.

Upset Oregon and Florida State fans aired their displeasure on Twitter.

Yeah, had my in-laws over. They only took the 1,000 mile journey to be with us to watch the game over the holiday. Nice job Time Warner and WatchESPN.. Total fail. Can’t wait for competitor to eat your lunch.

Darn it ESPN…. it should work perfectly, always, overtime and forever. What is wrong with you guys? It’s not like you’re trying a new delivery channel and you will have all the problems worked out 4 months from now or anything. Sigh. ESPN is pushing the boundary and Murphy’s Law happens. What could happen next? A new private market experimental spacecraft crashes in the desert?
